Democrats Win House Majority and New Jersey Governor
National races yielded a Democratic gain in the House, a New Jersey gubernatorial victory for Democrats, and a Kentucky shift away from the GOP. Michigan’s Eighth District swung Democratic by about 5,000, while Ohio’s Longworth seat remained with Republicans. Roosevelt boosters pushed reform in New York amid Tammany strength. Shouse hailed the margin as a 1932 indicator.
